Sample Call Scripts

Our Members of Congress work for us, so don’t be afraid to give them a call. We’ll be providing detailed information and scripts for each issue that we post, so you’ll be prepared.

Here are a few samples for you to study up on:

Hello! My name is ___________. I am one of (senator’s name) constituents in ___________, California. My Zip code is _____ (note: they often ask). I’m calling today to ask Senator _______ to oppose the nomination of Trump’s cabinet pick Scott Pruitt for Head of the EPA. Mr. Pruitt is an arch-enemy of the EPA! He has sued it on 14 separate occasions. He has spent his whole career taking the side of polluters over the public health, and over our planet’s well-being.

Hello! My name is __________, and I am one of Representative (name)’s constituents in _____________, California. My Zip code is ______. I’m calling to thank the congresswoman/man for demanding that the House of Representatives be allowed to debate and vote on the SOLVE Act – that’s H.R. 724 — to rescind the president’s Muslim ban. I want her to know we have her back!
